So, is is weird that I am envious of my own pantry? I spent three hours on it tonight and this is the end result. Much better than it was, don't you think? I am a little embarassed to share with you the before, but it makes the after that much better. Thanks Breena for the can sorter idea, I found some from Shelf Reliance that rotate them. They are awesome! I also bought two boxes of snap and lock containers from costco. I eliminated a TON of cardboard boxes and replaced them with clear, plastic ones. This is so much fun! Next I am onto James's room. (And in case you were wondering, yes, that is 53 boxes of cereal on the top shelf, I like to stock up when I can get stuff free or really cheap. I don't usually pay more than .50 to.75 per box of cereal.) Someday I will get into that more. For now, lets all enjoy the views of a clean pantry.

Jane!! LOVE IT! I bought a labeler awhile back for this same reason and I actually have had a few sessions with a professional organizer/business consultant! I hired her to help me with my constantly buried office and she helped me a ton. i have a long way to go, I might have her back now that we moved and have more space to organize our clutter. I have tackled a few ares but need to do more. Maybe in a month when the newness of a newborn wears off I will get on it =) What is shelf reliance? I need one of those can things!

Jane! That looks SO great! Do you mind if I ask where you got all the containers? I have been wanting the soup/can holders but want the rotating kind that you got. Plus, it's good to see that you will always be able to survive on cereal!

Holy Cow - it looks awesome! Plus, I really want to hear your seceret on buying cereal. I won't buy a box unless it is $2 or less -I thought I was doing good by that rule...seriously let's talk about this!!
